A Delhi-bound SpiceJet flight from Pune was forced to return mid-air and make an emergency landing on Monday after a technical glitch, according to officials.

Flight SG937, operated by a Boeing 737, took off from Pune at 6.40 am, about 40 minutes late, and was scheduled to arrive in Delhi at 8.10 am, reported PTI. Midway, a flap transit light illuminated, prompting the crew to follow standard safety checks. As a precaution, the pilots decided to divert back to Pune.

The aircraft landed safely under full emergency conditions an hour after departure. Passengers were deplaned normally, and there were no reports of injury or distress.

SpiceJet confirmed the incident, stating that all necessary protocols were followed. The airline assured passengers that those affected were being accommodated on alternate flights or offered full refunds. Authorities also said that the crew followed established operating procedures to ensure passenger safety throughout the incident.
